Kashmir joined India in October 1947, following the partition of British India into India and Pakistan. The princely state of Jammu and Kashmir, ruled by Maharaja Hari Singh, initially sought to remain independent. However, after tribal invasion by forces from Pakistan, the Maharaja requested military assistance from India and signed the Instrument of Accession on October 26, 1947, which granted India jurisdiction over defense, foreign affairs, and communications in exchange for military support. This accession led to the first Indo-Pakistani War and has been a source of ongoing conflict between India and Pakistan.
It was one of the terms and conditions of the maharaja of Kashmir before joining India. Its also incorporated in Article 370 of the Indian Constitution. Since Nehru took the matter to the UN in 1948 and a plebiscite was agreed, Kashmir has not officially joined India.
